Chapter 109 Key Project [Seeking monthly ticket]

Although Xu Yuan didn't know why Mr. Yang was looking for him, now was definitely not the time to waste time. He stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket, stood up and walked out without even bothering to tidy up the things on the table.

Perhaps because he had never seen Xu Yuan so anxious before, Li Zhenya turned his head and asked quickly after seeing him.

"Are we going to the library again?"

"Director Liao is looking for me." Xu Yuan did not explain much.

He casually answered Li Zhenya's doubts with a few words, then opened the dormitory door and walked out.

Mainly because you don’t know the specific details, it’s better to keep it secret for now.

Who knows if it will involve something like stealth fighter jets that need to be kept strictly confidential.

Liao Fangyi's office is in the same building as Tang Shihong's, so he was familiar with the route and didn't waste much time on the way.

Soon Xu Yuan came downstairs.

Just as he was about to go up, he suddenly saw the department head Liao Fangyi coming out.

So I had to stay where I was and wait.

"You've come at the right time. I'll take you there now." Liao Fangyi walked up to Xu Yuan and said with a smile.

After speaking, he walked ahead.

Judging from the direction, it should be the location of Qinghua University's Institute for Advanced Studies.

Xu Yuan couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he followed Liao Fangyi and asked.

"Director Liao."

"What's the matter, Mr. Yang, that you suddenly came to me?"

Liao Fangyi kept walking, turned his head and asked, "Why, are you nervous?"

"I just feel a little surprised." Xu Yuan explained with a smile.

"okay."

"You don't have to be nervous. It should be a good thing." Liao Fangyi took over the conversation and said a few words in an attempt to dispel Xu Yuan's concerns.

However, when Xu Yuan heard this, he immediately understood that it seemed that even Liao Fangyi was not clear about the specific situation.

But as the other party said, it would definitely not be a bad thing for Elder Yang to take the initiative to meet a junior like him.

After calming down, he stopped asking questions and obediently followed Liao Fangyi on the campus transportation. Soon they arrived at the Qinghua University Institute for Advanced Studies.

Led by Liao Fangyi, the two of them went straight to the door of the dean's office.

As soon as I stopped, I heard the sound of conversation coming from inside.

"There are other people in the office..."

"Is this voice familiar?"

Xu Yuan's mind was working quickly to analyze this, and he felt that he should have heard the voice of one of the persons before.

And it's quite familiar.

Just as he was searching for the name in his mind, he saw Liao Fangyi knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

Hearing the deep male voice, Liao Fangyi pushed the door open.

Xu Yuan followed obediently behind.

Only at this time did I feel like a real sophomore.

"Mr. Yang."

"He is Xu Yuan, a classmate of our mathematics department." Liao Fangyi moved away immediately after introducing Xu Yuan.

At this time, Xu Yuan finally saw the situation in front of him.

The closest person in sight is an old man wearing a white striped short-sleeved shirt and with his hair neatly combed. Although he is already eighty years old, he still looks energetic.

The other party was none other than Mr. Yang, a living legend in the physics world.

He could see that the other person was also looking at him, so he didn't dare to hesitate and nodded and greeted him immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

"I'm Xu Yuan from the School of Mathematical Sciences."

As soon as the words fell, a smiling voice came to my ear, giving me an indescribable sense of intimacy.

"I've heard of you. You're one of the rare young talents in Qinghua. You performed very well at the cryptography conference."

Although Xu Yuan was used to hearing praise from his classmates and teachers, he couldn't hide his joy when he heard such evaluation from Mr. Yang. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an acquaintance sitting on the sofa next to him.

He blurted out in surprise.

"Professor Wang, are you here too?"

Wang Xiaoyun stood up and said with a smile, "It was Elder Yang who invited me here."

"I have just persuaded Professor Wang to invite her to join the Institute for Advanced Studies of Qinghua University as a visiting professor." Mr. Yang was also explaining the situation with a smile.

"The country has listed hash function cryptography as a key project. Next, the two universities will work together under the leadership of Professor Wang to design a secure and reliable hash function cryptography algorithm for ourselves."

Wang Xiaoyun nodded in confirmation: "Designing a hash function password for our country is something I have wanted to do for a long time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Xu Yuan and said, "I'm afraid we will have to discuss and research with you during the password design process." She didn't regard Xu Yuan as an ordinary undergraduate student at all.

At least not in the field of cryptography.

Xu Yuan listened to everything and didn't find it strange. After all, hash function cryptography is the mainstream in the world.

It is something that is indispensable.

As China gradually fills the gap in the field of hash functions and successfully cracks the world's top password MD5, the next step will naturally be to achieve greater results in hash functions.

Design a password that is not afraid of being cracked or leaked. Since Xu Yuan participated in the International Cryptography Conference and developed a new collision method that led to the cracking of MD5, he would naturally do his best to help in designing his own hash function password.

Besides, Wang Xiaoyun is now a professor at the Qinghua Institute for Advanced Studies.

At least I don’t have to run back and forth to Qilu University.

"Don't worry, Professor Wang. I naturally hope to contribute to the country's hash function cryptographic algorithm."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Wang Xiaoyun smiled and nodded.

At this time, Mr. Yang turned the topic to Xu Yuan again, and his eyes revealed an expression of admiration for talent.

"I have read all your papers. I think your talent in mathematics is no less than that of the Mozart of mathematics, Terence Tao. Professor Xu from the Department of Engineering Mechanics also speaks highly of you."

"If you have time, you might as well study more physics. If you encounter any problems, you can come and discuss them with me."

Xu Yuan really didn't expect that Mr. Yang still wanted him to study physics, and could even come over and ask him questions in private.

Even a PhD in physics may not get this kind of treatment.

However, as the saying goes, mathematics and physics are inseparable, his performance in physics is not bad at all.

It’s just that there are no academic achievements yet.

So he answered without hesitation: "I will, Mr. Yang. In fact, the graduation thesis I am writing now is related to physics."

"Student Xu Yuan has already obtained all the credits for his undergraduate professional courses. He will have his graduation thesis defense after the new year and will continue to stay in school to pursue a doctorate in science." Liao Fangyi promptly took over the conversation and added.

This also made the smile on Mr. Yang's face even bigger.

"very nice."

"Being able to have such a high learning efficiency is also your advantage."

Whether in mathematics or physics, many achievements are completed by scholars before the age of forty.

It can be said that the younger you are, the easier it is for you to come up with inspiration, which brings great surprises to the academic community and promotes the development of disciplines.

Xu Yuan has mastered a large amount of knowledge at such a young age, and his achievements will surely be limitless with his accumulated knowledge.

At the end of his speech, Mr. Yang even extended an invitation in advance.

"I hope to see you become a lifetime member of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Qinghua University in the future."

"I will try my best." Xu Yuan promised fiercely.

The Qinghua University Institute of Advanced Studies founded by Professor Yang is benchmarked against those overseas institutes of advanced studies.

For example, the internationally renowned Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

Those who are able to enter the Institute of Advanced Studies are all professor-level scholars who have a certain degree of fame and contributions in their fields.

Xu Yuan hasn't even graduated from college yet, so he obviously still has some way to go if he wants to enter the Institute of Advanced Studies.

Xu Yuan and Liao Fangyi did not stay long. They said goodbye and left without delaying Professor Yang and Wang Xiaoyun from continuing to discuss becoming a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies.

……

"Since Professor Yang became the honorary dean of the Institute for Advanced Studies, I have never seen him pay so much attention to any student."

"Now I am looking forward to your future achievements more and more."

On the way, Liao Fangyi's emotions had not yet completely calmed down, and he was still talking to Xu Yuan excitedly.

Xu Yuan was humble when he heard this: "Let me finish writing my graduation thesis first."

After this episode was over, Xu Yuan returned to the dormitory with a slightly more smile on his face than when he left.

Since Xu Yuan came back not too long after leaving this time, everyone in the dormitory was very curious.

Naturally, there will be some follow-up questions.

"What does Director Liao want to talk to you about, Xu Yuan? Tell me quickly."

As Li Zhenya spoke first, Wang Haitao immediately looked over with anticipation on his face.

Since it was not something that needed to be kept secret, Xu Yuan would naturally not choose to keep it a secret, since his biggest weakness was that he didn't like lying.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that Mr. Yang wanted to meet me and asked me to ask him about physics when I have time."

Although Xu Yuan said this in a casual tone, the meaning was completely different to Li Zhenya and Wang Haitao.

The two of them were stunned for two or three seconds, then their faces were filled with shock and they subconsciously blurted out interjections.

"Fuck!"

"Xu Yuan, you are showing off too much."

"I've been in Qinghua for a year, and I haven't even met Mr. Yang in person."

"Brother Yuan, I'm really jealous this time." Wang Haitao said somewhat resentfully as he followed closely behind Li Zhenya.

But Xu Yuan acted as if he didn't hear anything. He walked straight to his desk and sat down to continue reading, letting the two people chatter in his ear expressing their envy of him.

Afterwards, when the Higher Education Press Cup Mathematical Modeling Competition was over, Liu Yang returned to the dormitory and lay down on the bed to catch up on his sleep without even washing up.

It can be seen that I stayed up late many times to finish the paper for this competition.

After waking up after a long sleep, everyone realized that their group had chosen Topic A, the design of a temporary supermarket outlet for the Olympic Games. However, judging from the confident look on Liu Yang's face, his result must be quite good.

If the specific results are to be announced, we will have to wait until the middle of next month.

At that time, the group of winners of the provincial first prize will have the opportunity to participate in the preliminary review and defense of the competition area.

Those with outstanding performances will be sent by the judges to the national organizing committee for selection of the National Award and the Higher Education Press Cup Award.

Since Xu Yuan did not sign up for the event, he was not very interested in this matter. However, after making all the preparations, he finally started writing his paper and preliminarily determined the ideas for studying the Monge-Ampere equation.
